【分析】
本题为短文填空，需结合语法规则、固定搭配及上下文语境填写单词的正确形式。解题思路如下：
1. 第44空：be good at是固定短语，后接动词动名词形式，故将solve变形；
2. 第45空：特指前文提到的来自数学王国的信，需用定冠词；
3. 第46空：set off是固定短语，意为“出发”，符合语境；
4. 第47空：修饰名词需用形容词，将名词friend变形；
5. 第48空：修饰名词需用形容词，结合语境填“丢失的”；
6. 第49空：与strange并列，需用形容词，结合语境填“不寻常的”；
7. 第50空：全文为一般过去时，谓语动词用过去式；
8. 第51空：修饰动词需用副词，将形容词final变形；
9. 第52空：前后句为因果关系，需用表原因的连词；
10. 第53空：own后接名词，将形容词important变形。
【解析】

44. 固定搭配be good at后接动名词，故填solving；

One day, Charlie got a piece of exciting news—Willy Wonka, the owner of the world’s largest chocolate factory, hid five golden tickets(门票) in his chocolate. His chocolate factory would be open for the lucky ones. And one of them might get the factory.
Slowly, four golden tickets came to four children from all over the world. One afternoon, on his way home, Charlie found some money on the road and used it to buy a chocolate. To his surprise, he got the last golden ticket in the chocolate. Charlie ran home quickly with the golden ticket and told his family the good news.
The exciting day had finally arrived. Five lucky children followed Mr Wonka into the factory. Finally they came to the underground chocolate workshop. The other four children didn’t do as Mr Wonka told them to. As a result, they caused(导致) a lot of trouble in the workshop. Charlie was the only obedient(听话的) child. Of course, Mr Wonka liked Charlie. In the end, Charlie became the true lucky one and he got the chocolate factory from Mr Wonka.
